My paternal grandmother was a Goff from middle Tennessee (Dekalb county). I am currently researching her Goff line and have hit somewhat of a brick wall. Maybe someone could help and point me in the right direction? I have traced my Goff line to Frank(lin) Goff (1830-1863) born and died in Tennessee (White county area). He married Nancy Childress in Dekalb county, TN on May 2, 1856. He was soldier in the civil war: 16th Regiment, Tennessee Infantry Company K. I believe his mother was Nancy Dildine. I believe he had a brother, James Madison Goff (1826-?) who moved from TN to Mill Spring, MO. James had a wife susan. I believe some of his line moved down to Arkansas/ Frank also had a sister Elizabeth Goff (1842-?) who married James Dove and stayed in TN (White and Warren counties). I am trying to find the father of Frank, James, and Elizabeth. Any help, tips, leads is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, Are you you from the Goff/Barlow family? If so, want to make sure you saw the January 2017 newsletter. I writing a short follow up article, based on autosomal results sponsored by the GGFA for a great-grandchild of Henry Goff b. 1809 NC. Thanks, Phil
